M.Sc. (Cyber security & forensic science)

INTRODUCTION:

Cyber forensics can be defined as a branch of forensic science dedicated to recovery and investigation of digital or electronic data. These data can be from any digital asset or data storing entity which includes a computer system, mobile device, cloud service, and so on. Technically, all these digital assets have a different design to store data and this makes the very base for dividing digital forensics into several categories. Its various sub branches include computer forensics, network forensics, forensic data analysis, and mobile device forensics
